This Printer company served you malware for months, called them false positives
Procolored: Printer company serves malware für six months, claims "false positive" warnings
The printer company is called Procolored.
Also it’s for a UV printer, not an inkjet or laser printer, with the cheapest option on their website being $1900 and the average being around $6000. So, not a regular printer you would buy off the shelf. It’s still bad of course, but only so many people even could be impacted by it.
I'd have guessed HP
Thank you. Cross-posted this to !savedyouaclick@lemmy.world.

Wow it’s not HP.
In that case it wouldn’t be news.
Btw, germany has a law about "Computersabotage". Wondering why HP & co still can make your paid (computer) hardware not working anymore?
Good to see there are still viruses in the wild, I was beginning to think those kinda became some ancient forgotten form of art. [I mean proper viruses, not malware in general]
The fact they're still trying to blame "Chinese language" after presumably being provided with receipts?
I think they meant they were using malware detection tools that would often flag it because of the Chinese language issue and just assumed that's what was up when it flagged it this time.
Kinda like the boy who cried wolf, they ignored it when there really was a wolf.
Why would anyone use the software? Aren't modern printers plug and play?
Plug and auto install drivers and play
This is not a typical home or office printer, very specialized.
